Accommodation

Tourists who want to learn Shaolin Kung Fu but prefer to stay outside the school, can choose to stay at the nearby hotel. Meanwhile, students will be staying at rooms located within the school premises. Students will be sharing rooms with fellow students. Rooms can accommodate 2 to 3 students depending on the room sizes. Generally, there would be about 2 students per room. However, this depends on the number of students.

Usually during the summertime, there will be more students so short-term students might be required to share rooms. During these times the 2-3 students/room might apply. On the other hand, during autumn/fall and winter student population is lesser. During these times, the possibility for a student to own his/her own room without having to share it with someone is higher.

In addition, the accommodations come with:

Tableware

Beddings

Hot shower facilities
